Which has led to how much on ice/on field success? Pegula is open to criticism. Golisano gets constantly bashed on this board by numerous people and he saved the Sabres like Pegula did the Bills. Pegula is showing he is in over his head. He needs to sit back and hire someone to do this stuff for him. He is way too hands own and doesn't know a damn thing about running either of his teams.
For the Sabres:
I know right. It's like Pegula bought a team that was close to contending, gave the organization a better facility for training and other stuff with the Sabres, then gave Darcy full power where he tried to use Free Agency to make them competitive which according to some posters, the lack of free agency tools was a big downfall for Darcy and co, and that failed. Then when he failed, he looked to get a better GM and a better hockey department after multiple attempts of fixing the on ice product with mulitple player moves, a coach being fired(you know things done before the GM is usually fired with most teams).
So now that he has a Hockey Department to make hockey decisions, he expects us to think that they are the ones calling the shots, and expects us to think he has stepped away from anything that has to do with the on-ice product. But we're on to you Pegula, you're not fooling us!
For the Bills:
Oh and Terry, we get that you bought the team after Marrone was put in place, and that 1st rounder is gone before got there, and pretty much everything still in place before you bought the team, but man, you really need to just admit it, you screwed up, from that contract you, well your predecessor, gave to Marrone, all the way to the two weeks after your season ended. I mean come on, The regular season just ended, and you already screwed up next season with your "lack" of decisions. Listen I know you are a better source when it comes the Buffalo Bills, but I'll gladly take the word of Click-bait articles and guys from twitter, who heard from a guy, that they met a guy...Who would have a better pulse on the team, you? Haha, don't make me laugh...
I know you're going to use the excuse of "the team was still a Playoff contender until December" excuse to explain why you didn't blow the team up back in October, but we're not falling for that. I know you didn't really get to the players and get a sense of how everyone felt, but as soon as you bought the team, you should've canned the Head Coach before he had a chance to opt out.
Those media members who spend maybe 20 mins a day around the players have a better grasp of the fundamentals of football...Just listen to them, I mean you wouldn't need to pay them, since they are being paid by someone else. Think about the profit dang it!
Thanks for your time sir!
